When does El mundo por montera take place at the 2026 Biennial?

On Thursday 10 September 2026 at 9:30 pm in the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla.

Who is taking part in El mundo por montera?

The cante line-up brings together José Mercé, José el de la Tomasa, Martirio, Arcángel, La Tremendita, Ángeles Toledano, El Perrete and Manuel de la Tomasa. The dance features the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía with Patricia Guerrero, alongside a large team of guitarists, saxophonists, percussionists and palmas.

Who is directing the gala?

The artistic direction is by Andrés Marín and Luis Ybarra. Marín also signs the aesthetic concept, and both share the script and programme.

Is El mundo por montera the official opening of the Biennial?

The official opening of the 24th Biennial takes place on 9 September with Ecos primitivos in Plaza de San Francisco. El mundo por montera follows on the 10th as the major gala and first major Unique Night of the general programme.

What will be sung during the gala?

The programme includes, among other styles, caña, bambera, airs from the Levante, cantiñas, granaína y media, petenera, cantes de ida y vuelta, soleá, seguiriya and fandangos.

Why does the show focus on 1926?

Because it marks one hundred years since a decisive period: Pepe Marchena entered the circuits of Ópera Flamenca, Manuel Vallejo received the second Llave de Oro del Cante and released Catalina, and electrical recording transformed the dissemination of flamenco on record.

How much are the tickets?

The Andalusian Cultural Agenda lists prices from €25. Availability and seating areas should be checked through the Biennial’s official sales channel.

Where is the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza?

At Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, 12, in Seville’s El Arenal district, beside the Guadalquivir and very close to the historic centre.

Will the show be repeated on another day?

No other performance is scheduled. The Biennial presents it as a Unique Night on 10 September.

Will Patricia Guerrero dance with Andrés Marín or Eduardo Leal?

The official programme listing credits Patricia Guerrero and Eduardo Leal in the passage El cerco y la luna. The open rehearsal on 4 September was performed by Guerrero with Andrés Marín. Until the Biennial updates the show listing, we regard Eduardo Leal as the planned cast member for the performance and Marín’s rehearsal as a stage preview, not confirmation of a cast change.
